Yellow Snapper, Clements Reef

Scuba Diving, Dive Trip, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia – Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Borneo Dream ran a few scuba diving trips last week. During one of our scuba diving trips we went scuba diving along coral reefs at Edgell Patches and Clements Reef in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP), Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

Blacktip Reef Shark, Edgell Patches

The sun was out, the sea was calm and the visibility was around 20m, the best we have seen recently scuba diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP), Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

Billy, one of our Diving Instructors, brought his video camera out and shot some stunning footage. It helped he was using his APD Evolution CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather) during the dives as the marine life came very close to him (what, with no noisy bubbles to scare them away). He saw a 1.5 metre – 2 metre Black Tip Reef Shark at very close range (arms length away) as it swam slowly by him when scuba diving at Edgell Patches. This is the largest shark we have so close to Kota Kinabalu. We normally only see more mature sharks on our longer range dive trips.

Anemone Fish

Billy also got some beautiful footage of a large schoal of Yellow Snappers at Clements Reef in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP), Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. The Yellow Snappers seemed to stay with Billy for a long time (based on the video footage ).

As soon as we have created and posted the video footage on You Tube we’ll post a link on this site – so you can how fantastic the scuba diving was last week diving from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

Ann and Dan, as part of their Divemaster Internship with Borneo Dream, were completing their dive site mapping task – they couldn’t have asked for better conditions .
